MTV announced a brand new series of the hoax show and this time, Ashton Kutcher pass on the Punk’d mantle to a different celebrity host each week, with Bieber, Cyrus and Panettierre taking up the reigns as presenter during the series.

The new format will see each celebrity pick on one of their famous friends, with Cyrus choosing her boyfriend, Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth, who finds himself in a set-up involving a car, two naked people and the police.

Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber, meanwhile, opts to prank his friend Taylor Swift, who nearly causes a boat to explode after being persuaded into a phony song-writing session with Bieber.

Kellan Lutz, Heather Morris, Bam Margera and Punk’d legend Dax Shepard, are among the other faces who will be seen punking their unsuspecting famous friends.

Hidden cameras have already recorded the fallout of the practical jokes perpetrated by the Punk’d celebrities, which also include Panettierre forcing Glee actress Dianna Agron to entertain a dirty old man.

Elsewhere, Jersey Shore star Snooki is set to be confronted with outrageous behaviour not unlike her own, as a young couple put on a graphic public display of affection right in front of her.

And for fans of the show with an interest in our home-grown celebrities, British boy band The Wanted are also set to get Punk’d, as they are ‘arrested’ by police for trespassing.

Other celebrities that get caught out this season include Demi Lovato, Lauren Conrad, Vanessa Hudgens, Emma Roberts, Chloe Moretz and Khloe Kardashian.
